June 14th, it's been so long I took my Nikon out... I had to resolve water infiltration in my newly refinished basement, am in the process of tearing down all my recent work, well, eventually I'll get some time to shoot more. Here's our cat doing it's favourite thing: I just love window...

Here's my first for this month's assignment: D700, 1/500s, f5.6 iso 3200, sigma 105 macro 2.8

I bought a 55 1.2 AIS a few years ago for around 300.00 $. It's not the famous Nokton, but close enough for my needs. Here are a few pics done with it when I first got it:

May 22nd, I went crawling on the wet grass to try to get some macro shots. Man it's tough to try doing minimum focus distance hand held. Anyway, I got this one that's about half good. I just couldn't get the bug to turn around to face the camera. It must have been a female bug… :)
